/// -  BSLMF_ASSERT: compile-time assert macro
///
/// # Description {#bslmf_assert-description}
/// This component defines a macro that will generate a
/// compile-time error if its constant integral expression argument evaluates to
/// false (i.e., a value of `0`).  The `BSLMF_ASSERT` macro is similar to the
/// standard run-time `assert` macro, except that its argument is evaluated at
/// compile-time, it produces no executable code, and it can be used safely in
/// header files.
/// @code
/// BSLMF_ASSERT(sizeof(int) >= sizeof(char));    // OK
/// BSLMF_ASSERT(sizeof(double) < sizeof(char));  // COMPILE ERROR!
/// @endcode
/// The second line will result in a compile error with a message stating that
/// the type `BSLMF_COMPILE_TIME_ASSERTION_FAILURE` is incomplete, usually
/// preceded by the file and line number where the macro was used.  The
/// following error message is typical of most compilers:
/// @code
/// $ CC -g myfile.cpp
/// "myfile.cpp", line 86: Error: The type
/// "BSLMF_COMPILE_TIME_ASSERTION_FAILURE<0>" is incomplete.
/// 1 Error(s) detected.
/// @endcode
/// If the macro argument is true, the macro will generate an innocuous
/// `typedef` with a name that is the concatenation of the symbol
/// `bslmf::Assert`, and the value of `__LINE__` (which will be the line number
/// in the file where the macro was called).  For example, the first line from
/// the example above might result in the following statement:
/// @code
/// typedef bslmf::AssertTest<1> bslmf_Assert_85;
/// @endcode
/// Note that these generated typedefs are implementation details of the
/// compile-time checking facility and are not intended to be used directly
/// outside of this component.
///
/// Attempting to invoke `BSLMF_ASSERT` on a non-compile-time value will
/// typically result in a compilation error.
///
/// `BSLMF_ASSERT` can be used at namespace, class, and function scope to assert
/// compile-time conditions.  !WARNING:! a compiler bug on certain platforms
/// produces an error when the `BSLMF_ASSERT` macro is used more than once on
/// the *same* line in class scope.
